Unless I am wrong, that error has nothing to do with XSL although you shared
the XSL.
It looks like the XML file is corrupt OR given the naming like
bCloud_Object.xmlb are you sure it is not some download from the cloud
that injected special characters or was encoded wrong or was not complete
before checking?

Hi Russ,



Does the DITA file validate as valid XML with bxmllintb or another similar
checker?

Hi All,



It's been awhile but I have the opportunity to get back to xslt land.



I have a small xslt:



<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>



<!-- identity transform -->

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">

    <xsl:copy>

        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>

    </xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>



<xsl:template match="entry/p[1]">

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>



That removes the first <p> element in an entry element.



When i try this on a DITA xml file I get:

russurquhart_boomi ~/Downloads/SaxonHE11-4J  $ java -jar saxon-he-11.4.jar -t
-s:Cloud_Object.xml -xsl:rem_para.xsl -o:Cloud_Object_Out.xml

SaxonJ-HE 11.4 from Saxonica

The DITA file is kind of long but I can attach it if needed. I was hoping
someone could provide some insight on this?



Thanks,



Russ
